Former Governor of Abia State, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, expressed confidence that no elected president, including Bola Ahmed Tinubu, would intentionally want their people to suffer, affirming his belief in the administration’s intentions. He emphasized the distinct roles of the three arms of government—legislature, executive, and judiciary—highlighting that the legislature’s primary function is to make laws, which is essential for governance.
He asserted that the decisions made by Tinubu’s administration are unprecedented in Nigeria’s 60-year history, suggesting that they reflect a commitment to transformative governance. He conveyed optimism that, despite the challenges, Nigeria is poised to emerge stronger from its current difficulties.
He said in a live coverage by Symfoni TV from 3:13, “I believe no president will want his people to suffer. No president in the world elected by people wants those people to suffer. So I believe him (Tinubu) and his team. You know, we are here making laws. You people think we are the ones holding the government; we are not the ones holding the government.
We are just the three arms of government: the legislature, the executive, and the judiciary. We are here making laws. We don’t do any other thing but make laws, and it’s that law-making that we need. So it is not totally out of place, but Nigeria will come out stronger. The decisions he has taken are decisions that no president in 60 years of the Republic—no president has been able to take that decision.”
